3,5% Over Generations 2

In the second part of the exhibition series 3.5% Over Generation, two younger Poc artists are shown. April Lin 林森 and Linda Sestrajcic.

In this exhibition, we explore through the artists’ work, what is a body with all its shortcomings, perfections and challenges. Who has the privilege of rest and recovery? What is the body in today’s society, a product that should produce and consume or part of something bigger? Is it a political statement to let your mind and body rest?

In April Lin 林森’s video work R_Rest (2019), we are invited on a journey with the artist and they’s friends were they reflect on what is rest, who has the right to rest and whom feels guilty about rest. Is rest a political action? This is the first episode in a series of video work An A-Z of Imagining a Better World that April creates. In the series, they creates a film every year based on a word that starts with a letter in the English alphabet.

“When I visited Braziers Park in the summer of 2019, it was a much-needed reminder of how fundamentally important it is to rest. To take a break or distance oneself from the rapid constant pressure that capitalistic everyday life puts on one. “

In Linda Sestrajcic’s photo installation Nike Women (2019), she portrays different women’s bodies and the pains they carry with a poetic warmth, both as individuals and as a collective. For a long time she has collaborated and followed the women’s association Nike women, a group of disabled women. In Linda’s second work in the exhibition, House of Water (2020), she has been following a group of women that regularly practices aqua aerobics for rehabilitation and caring of their bodys. The work has an transparent effect, it changes with the light and are perceived differently depending on what angle the viewer is watching from. A suggestive expression arises when the images shine through each other by doing so it creates something new.
